Pavement fibers can be made of both natural and synthetic binders including fiberglass, wax and Kevlar. They have been shown to increase the strength, crack resistance, rut resistance, fatigue life, toughness, and service life of an asphalt concrete (A.C.) mixture.
Pavement fibers help roadways, airfields, parking lots, driveways and bicycle/walking trails perform better and last longer than traditional asphalt placements. Millions of fibers distributed throughout the asphalt paving material increases the strength and durability of the material, while helping it’s resistance to premature cracking and rutting.
